    Areas affected...Southern High Plains

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 051951Z - 052115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Strong winds and some hail may accompany thunderstorms
    across parts of the southern High Plains, especially the eastern
    Texas Panhandle into early evening.

    DISCUSSION...Strong surface heating is contributing to a deepening
    boundary layer across the southern High Plains this afternoon.
    Temperatures have warmed into the upper 90s to near 100F from the TX
    South Plains into the OK Panhandle. As a result, convective
    temperatures have been breached and thunderstorms are now forming
    from northeast NM into southeast CO. This activity is expected to
    expand in areal coverage as it begins to propagate slowly southeast,
    aided in part by a weak mid-level disturbance. Forecast soundings
    across this region exhibit inverted-V profiles with substantial
    sub-cloud drying and surface/temperature dew point spreads on the
    order of 50F. CAM guidance also suggests a gradual increase in areal
    coverage as this activity moves/propagates slowly southeast. If a
    sufficient cold pool can evolve with this convection, storms may be
    forced into the southeast TX Panhandle/northwest TX where PW values
    are more supportive of stronger downdrafts. At this time severe
    coverage may be too sparse to warrant a watch. However, will
    continue to monitor this region.
